Having discovered VRML2 recently, I came up with an idea of using a combination of VRML2 and Java to control the motion of a human figure. In due course, I stumbled upon the H-Anim proposal. I have based most of my code on this standard. The project I had in mind was to build a java applet to control the motion of a humanoid. This can be used to try out elements that can be building blocks in future projects.

Java Controls A menagerie of java classes to help manipulate humanoid joints

Animating a Joint Interfacing java controls directly to humanoid joints in a VRML scene

Control Panel for a Humanoid A working java applet that manipulates 8 joints in a humanoid

Quaternions Using a quaternion java class to solve rotation problems

A Coordinate Systems Problem A gleam in my eye for finding the absolute position of a point

What's New / Future Directions A progress log of my work

Source and Object Files Source files and object bundles for applets you see here
